“Grey’s†Will Be Great
-

At least that’s what it seems like now, as the medical dramedy goes into its fifth season. There will be a new major character and lots of romance when the new season kicks off with a two-hour premiere on September 25. “I’m all about the love this year,†creator Shonda Rhimes wrote in “TV Guide.â€
The codependent sweethearts, second-year resident Meredith and attending neurosurgeon Derek (aka “Deredith†or “Merekâ€), will finally cement their relationship. Sure, it will have its ups and downs, but they will live together and make a firm commitment to each other. “Meredith will still show huge signs of fear and commitment phobia,†Mer’s off-screen alter ego Ellen Pompeo told “TV Guide.â€
We’ll see the repercussions—good and/or bad—of that season’s smooching between Callie and Erica and then George and Lexie. Lexie turns into a smitten kitten while a Geo is clueless about her feelings for him.
After a year recuperating from her messy, cut-short romance with Burke, feisty Cristina Yang, my fave character, will find her heart throbbing for a new doc, Owen Hunt. The former military MD will be played by hunky Scotsman Kevin McKidd, who starred in last season’s short-lived drama “Journeyman†and played a centurion in HBO’s innovative series “Rome.†Granted, “Journeyman†was pretty dopey, but McKidd was great in it.
There’s already McDreamy and McSteamy, so the Seattle Grace gals are bound to give Dr. Hunt is own “Mc†moniker. The actor’s name already starts with “Mc†and Hunt is dashing and masculine, so it won’t be McKid. How about McHunky? He’s brawny and cute, and “Hunky†sounds somewhat similar to “Hunt.â€
It will be interesting to see how well McKidd pulls off an American accent. Out of all the accents in countries where English is the first language, English with a heavy Scottish brogue sounds like gobbledygook to me. Seriously! I have seen movies set in Scotland and usually end up totally frustrated because I understood only 20 percent (at best) of the dialogue. I scream, “That’s English?†One time, I even saw a Scottish movie that had English subtitles, and believe me, those subtitles came in mighty handy.
Anyway, it’s great that the “normal†TV schedule is finally getting under way following the writers’ strike and the summer’s entrails. Finally, quality shows that we can enjoy and get absorbed in, unlike, say, the likes of the cheesy “Swingtown!†(Photos courtesy of ABC ).
